Banana Berry Oatmeal Recipe

by Two Peas on April 23, 2010

I am a planner, not a “fly by the seat of my pants” gal. Some may consider me boring, but that is why I have my husband, there is not a boring bone in his body:) Once a plan is made, I like to stick to it. I also like to have a consistent daily routine, maybe not as bad as Groundhog Day, but close.

My day usually goes like this: exercise, get ready for work, eat breakfast at my desk, work 10 hours, make dinner with the hubs, and depending on the night I either-blog, clean, watch TV, read, or attend a social function. Pretty basic. Sometimes I am flexible with my schedule, but I prefer to have notice. I like to stick to the plan:)

One thing I never change is my breakfast. I always eat a bowl of oatmeal Monday-Friday. Sometimes on the weekends I splurge and have pancakes, a smoothie, or muffins, etc. but I really love my oats. They are so comforting and good for my heart. I love steel cut oats, but I usually eat good old fashioned rolled oats. I never get sick of them, even in the summer when it is blazing hot outside.

I do try to mix things up with different fruits, but my favorite oatmeal is my Banana Berry bowl. The banana melts into the oats and creates an extra creamy bowl of oatmeal. I top my bowl off with a splash of vanilla soy milk and fresh berries.

I love starting my day with banana berry oatmeal. My philosophy-why change a good thing? I never get tired of this healthy breakfast. It may be boring to some, but boring tastes pretty darn good to me!

You’re not boring, you’re wonderful I am very into a routine too. And Josh is very not. I think that balance is required to make a relationship work!!! This bowl of oats is so pretty (as are all of your dishes). Again, I must tell you how much I value your blog…I obviously LOVE your baked goods and reading about your adventures Have a good weekend.

This is pretty much what I eat every day as well except 2% milk instead of soy and usually only one or two fruits. I’ve cleaned my microwave so many times from boiled over oats I’ve just resigned myself to cooking and cleaning a pot every morning. Sad right? But I do love my oats.

I was reading this post just as I was getting ready to make myself breakfast – so I had oatmeal with bananas! Thanks for the suggestion. It’s not quite the same as the kind I used to make (loaded with butter and brown sugar), but it sure is healthier and quite tasty!

I’m always looking for new ways to change my oatmeal up in the morning too. This looks delicious!
And don’t worry, I’m that planner in my house too. I like routine and you almost have to have a routine with two little ones.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I totally understand your need to be organized and have things planned. I am the same and sometimes it drives others crazy, but life is much simpler that way!
My hubby and I eat oats every weekday too. I always cook a big pot of them on Sundays, alternating between old fashioned rolled oats, steel cut, or Oat Groats (sometimes even a 5-grain cereal). I usually add some kind of dried fruit, but I want to try your recipe. It looks wonderful!

I could’ve written this post I too am a planner with a very similar schedule to yours (eerily similar), and oats are my breakfast of choice M-F. I try to break out of that rut on the weekends but more often than not I can’t stay away from my beloved banana oats!

I may not be as structured as you but I do appreciate how you like to stick to the plan so well. The oatmeal looks wonderful. I actually have been having the same thing every morning which is rare for me but it’s a yogurt I recently found and I just love it. Chobani, know it?

This makes me smile. I adore my oatmeal too – usually it’s basic with raisins, cinnamon, cloves, honey and almond milk, but sometimes I like to blend up coconut and almonds too, and that is lovely! I’m going to try banana soon.

Blond Duck-Like I mentioned, I like routines-same with my exercise. Monday-Body Pump, Tues. and Wed.-elliptical or run, Thurs.-Body Pump, Friday-Body Combat, Sat.-Body Pump, Sunday-rest. I try to walk at work too on my breaks.
